Sopela: local guide and property context
A sourced introduction to Sopela, its official settlement geography and the evidence used on this property-area page.
Local overview
Sopela, formerly known as Sopelana, is a town and municipality located in the province of Biscay, in the autonomous community of Basque Country, northern Spain.
The town is roughly 820 hectares in size, located in the comarca Mungialdea on the north east side of Bilbao and due east of the Nervión river estuary. In the municipality, other former towns like Larrabasterra were annexed to make Sopela larger. The area of Sopela is situated among green hills and beaches. This makes it a very attractive suburb of Greater Bilbao, with a short commute of 35 minutes on the metro.
Official geography
Within Bizkaia province, Sopela is recorded as municipality 48085 in the official INE register. The linked structured record provides a recorded municipal area of 8.4 square kilometres and a reference coordinate of 43.3814, -2.9822. The coordinate is a municipal reference point, not a property, parcel boundary or radius from which local claims are inferred.
Settlements and local form
For Sopela, the IGN Nomenclátor currently lists 2 official population nuclei. The imported source records are dated through 2025-11-27. The entry explicitly marked as the municipal capital is Moreaga, at a recorded elevation of approximately 61 metres. Other population-bearing nuclei in the extract include Ugeraga (5,203 residents in the cited settlement record). Nomenclátor entries describe settlement geography; they are not listing totals, neighbourhood boundaries or evidence of homes currently available for sale.
How this guide keeps the evidence local
All official market and population evidence shown below is resolved to Sopela through its exact INE identity. This prevents similarly named places in other provinces from being blended together. Where a municipality-level series is unavailable, the page labels the province fallback explicitly; current NLS asking inventory remains separate from completed-sale, demographic and cadastral evidence.
What the official data shows for Sopela
Sopela is a municipality in Bizkaia, País Vasco. The latest available INE municipal record reports 14,865 residents in 2023.
The INE population series shown for Sopela municipality runs from 2015 to 2023, moving from 13,347 to 14,865 residents. The published series therefore changes by +11.4% over that span; this describes resident population, not housing demand by itself.

INE reports a house-price index of 109.3 for País Vasco in 2026Q2. The index moved +10.0% year on year. This regional index shows direction of travel, not the value of a particular home.

Sources, periods and how to read this analysis
Completed-sale snapshot. Consejo General del Notariado / Penotariado aggregate for the stated scope. Price measures use 170 price-informed sales from 188 total recorded transactions. It is a current snapshot fetched 2026-08-03 21:39:29, not a historical point.
Transaction activity. MITMA quarterly housing transmissions, shown as published counts with no scaling or extrapolation.
Registered-price context. Colegio de Registradores quarterly statistics for the labelled comparison scope. Aggregate values are never relabelled as municipality or neighbourhood values.
Population and income. INE series for Sopela municipality through 2023. Aggregate percentages and averages are population-weighted where appropriate.
Physical stock. Dirección General del Catastro building records. Counts describe recorded stock, not homes currently for sale.
Administrative registers. Official energy-certificate and, where available, tourism-register entries are matched to official geography; coverage is not a model of unregistered stock.
Geographic scope. Official municipality pages use their INE code. Legacy area-taxonomy pages inherit only a municipality or province scope that resolves unambiguously; no market value is derived from a listing location.
Current listings. The NLS active public inventory, shown separately as asking inventory and never blended into completed-sale statistics.
Images. Wikimedia Commons files are selected through Wikidata municipality records. Each photograph retains its creator, reuse licence and source link.
This is aggregate market context, not a property valuation, cadastral assessment, legal opinion or forecast. Non-institutional deed samples and commercial portal asking-price benchmarks are excluded from the analysis.
